Rejected! Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 5, 2020

How The Gospel Can Inspire The Church Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Aug 7, 2008

This is meant to be a celebration of good ministry that’s happened over a long period of time and ...read more

Hearing Versus Listening

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 30, 2024

Today we are going back to the OT days of Nehemiah to see how the people of that day listened or just heard God's Word. God has brought us here today, not just to hear a sermon, but to listen as God speaks to our heart.

For most of us listening is our most frequently used communication skill. Listening is a very important part of communication. One study points out that ...read more
